Match Report
Nottingham Forest and Tottenham played out a goalless draw at the City Ground, with neither side able to find the breakthrough despite a lively second half. Forest dominated possession at 59% and created the greater volume of chances, registering 12 total shots, though a lack of accuracy was evident as they failed to register a single shot on target throughout the 90 minutes.
The match's most significant moment came in the 69th minute when Neco Williams had a goal ruled out by VAR, denying Forest what would have been a deserved lead. Bookings for Nikola Milenković and James McAtee added to the feisty atmosphere, while both managers turned to their benches with Mathys Tel, Liam Delap, Omar Marmoush, and others all introduced in the second half in search of a winner that never came.
Tottenham offered little going forward, managing just two shots on target from an equal 12 total attempts, and were largely contained by a well-organised Forest backline. The pre-match AI model had rated a Forest win as the most likely outcome at 39%, and while the hosts did edge the performance, a point apiece was ultimately the final verdict.
